ZTE Z986 Phablet with 6″ Full HD Display & 2GB RAM Spotted Online

A new phablet from the Chinese manufacturer ZTE is spotted on the benchmarking website GFXbench with the model number Z986. Recently, the company launched the Blade V8 Mini and Blade V8 Lite smartphones at the Mobile World Congress. It also showcased the Gigabit smartphone that comes powered by Snapdragon 835 SoC to reach 1Gbps download speeds and 150Mbps upload speeds. It is intended to use for the 5G trials that are expected to go live in the developed markets like the U.S, Japan, South Korea, and others.

Talking about the upcoming ZTE Z986 phablet, it packs decent specifications and runs on the latest Android 7.1.1 Nougat with MiFavor UI on top. It sports a 6-inch display with Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) resolution. Under the hood is the 64-bit Snapdragon 625 octa-core processor clocked at 2.0GHz that comes coupled with Adreno 506 GPU.

In the camera department, there is a 13MP autofocus rear camera with LED flash and 5MP fixed focus front camera.

Though the listing mentioned the device to come with only single SIM slot, we expect it to support dual SIM dual standby. Connectivity options include 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1, and GPS. It also packs a bunch of sensors including accelerometer, compass, gyroscope, light sensor, proximity, and pedometer. Since there is no official announcement, the complete details of this device will be known only on the launch day.
